Julian’s Stand-In Wife

Chapter 1431

Even if Jim created some questionable medicines in the process, it wouldn't matter. After all, he wouldn't be the one to suffer the consequences of the experimental drugs.

Eventually, his mocking tone turned into sarcasm.

“You seem to have deep feelings for her.”

Simon smiled, neither confirming nor denying Jim's words.
